I've installed a new version of ash in sourceware:/cygwin/latest/ash.

Changes:

- When evaluating stdout of backquote commands, it's read in
  textmode to handle native windows commands in backquotes as
  well.
- Corrected output of internal `type' command when given argument
  contains slashes.

To update your installation, CREATE AN EMPTY DIRECTORY, cd to it, and
download the latest version of setup.exe from the cygwin/latest
directory at a Cygwin mirror site near you.  These sites seem to
be good mirrors (they have the new version of ash already):

US:
ftp://ftp.freesoftware.com/pub/sourceware/cygwin/latest/

Europe:
ftp://ftp.franken.de/pub/win32/develop/gnuwin32/cygwin/mirrors/cygnus/latest/

Once you've downloaded setup, type:

    setup ash

Answer the questions as you did when you first installed Cygwin,
specifying whatever mirror site you used to download the package.

This procedure will only update the ash package.  If you have not
previously used the new setup.exe program to install a version of
Cygwin, you probably will need to install the entire Cygwin package for
correct operation.

Once the setup is complete you may remove this newly created directory.
It will contain the setup.exe program, a setup log file, and the
ash-20000627 tar file.  None of these are needed for further operation
of
ash but you can keep them around if you are interested in reinstalling
everything later.  The setup.log file contains diagnostics that will
be helpful if your installation failed for some reason.

Note that, if you do not use the mirror site above, the ash files may
take a while to propagate to other mirror sites.

If you have questions or comments, please send them to the Cygwin
mailing list at:  cygwin AT sourceware DOT cygnus DOT com .  I would appreciate
if you would use this mailing list rather than emailing me directly.
This includes ideas and comments about the setup utility or Cygwin
in general.

If you want to make a point or ask a question the Cygwin mailing list is
the appropriate place.
